Georgia to send second delegation to Russia for wine export talks

08.03.2013 (Hvino News). Georgia will send another delegation to Russia on March 18 to explore re-entry of Georgian wines and mineral waters to the Russian market, the Agriculture Ministry said on Thursday.

Georgia sent its first agricultural delegation to Moscow for talks in early February.

Russia has also scheduled to send its second group of experts to Georgia for on-the-spot quality inspections of Georgian wines and mineral waters, after an initial round of inspection in February.

Genady Onishchenko, head of the Russian consumer goods quality watchdog Rospotrebnadzor, would visit Georgia but a date had not been decided, the Agriculture Ministry said.
